Here is a razor that I have been working on for a while. I rough forged to shape then ground it. The blade is O1 the scales are g10. I bead blasted the g10 scales.

Very nice Charlie. I like the "double spike"! It would be perfect for defining the edges of my Van Dyke no matter which hand or which side of my face. I think you should send it to me for a test drive:)
Outstanding job!
Looks great from all angles. Nice work
very nice and clean! Sweet job!
Wickedly elegant :)
Well done, beautiful razor.
I like this one a lot Charlie. Blade is so smooth and elegant yet so pointy and aggressive at the same time and the finish on the scales is awesome.

Wowwww Charlie :dropjaw:,
She's amazing. Congratulations on an outstanding job :tu.
Q: I am amazed at how hollow this thing is :dropjaw:!! How did you get her this hollow (and evenly so)?
Stylish and elegant razor. Good job!
Wow. Great looking razor. Warning, do not use when even remotely tired!
I like this one too. The bead blasted scales are cool.

Wow, Charlie, just Wow....
Your blades never cease to amaze me :bow
Thank you guys for the kind words. SRP is a supportive/encouraging place.
Here is a thread where I talked about this blade.Quote:

I basically grind like I shave, whatever I do with my left hand I try to do the same with right. I grind one side of the blade with one hand and the other with the other hand. I am constantly flipping back and forth trying to keep things even. This blade took a lot of hand sanding to smooth out grinding ridges and get ready for the buffer.
I hollow grind the way that Bob Allman taught me.

Yikes - with 2 spike points it could cut my jaw and my earlobe simultaneously :D
Joking aside, it looks serious, strict, and a lot of fun. Definitely a razor with a personality. The scales look great and seem surprisingly small for such a large blade. Brilliant job, thanks for posting.
Holy crap.
That thing has some aggressive elegance!!
Very nice, wicked design and awesome grind.
That blade is like a supermodel. Gorgeous, and look at from a certain angle, almost disappears cause so thin. Beautiful grind, love how "razor thin" it is (sorry, best description.)
The satin finish on the G10 is a good look too.
Good looking razor Charlie, and a super job on that hollow grind. A+++++++++++
